GORDON Jtiii] Democracy arc sweeping
the State.
j Io> . j* W. Everett has planted
himself square'y upon the Democratic
platform. He is for the Democracy ti r st
ami the sub-treasury bill second. He
says if the Democratic caucus is against
the bill lie is against it also.
T ,fv 11 Evening Journal, having defeated
*
Ingalls for the Senate ^ in . Kansas, t- has i
mined its attention to the race in Geor-
gia. Jt comes out squarely for Georgia’s
noblest n son, the g dlant Gordon. The
\Conntitution . is . still fighting Ingalls. T ,,
As soon as it is certain of his defeat, they
will then turn their attention to Georgia
atfairs. The race for Speaker will then
probably be over.
Gwinnett county is said to be the
I home of the Alliance. It is the strongest
Alliance county in the State. It is the
home of Hon. Thomas E. Winn, nominee
for congress in the 9th district. It was
here that Hardeman and Northen open¬
ed their campaign for governor, and here
that Northen won his first victory. Gor¬
don spoke to the Alliance of Gwinnett
last Friday aud completely captured
them. He was introduced by Col. Jas.
E. Cloud, the most prominent Alliance-
man in the county. The people were
wild wi:h enthusiasm, and uanimouslv
*
passed , resolutions , endorsing him lor , the
senate. It seems more like Harry Brown
was doomed to disappointment in getting
his father-in-law into the senate. He got
leit for congress in the 4th, and is now
about to be buried by Gordon.
The democracy of the entire United
States is interested in the senatorial cou-
test iu Georgia. The defeat of Gordon
would be considered throughout the
l nion as a public calamity and would be
looked on as an act of the blackest in-
gratitude on the part of the people of
Georgin. The following extract from an
article iu the 3Iontgomery Advertiser
shows the feeling in Alab ima:
“It would be the basest ingratitude for
South Carolina and Georgia to turn their
hacks upon Hampton and Gordon They
are awarded deserving all the houors that can be
the them, and we do not believe that
time will ever come, when they will
be refused anything they want that it is
in the power of the people to bestow
The world at large would condemn a
people who;fail to recoguizc the heroie and
patriotic character of such men They
are representatives of all that is best and
jireatest in the South and should be
cherished ns such. It will fee an evil day
"hen they are set oci uaide aside for for some some mush- mush-
room men whose only reputation is that
schemes of t bc *ing advocates of w'i'ld and visiooarv
of legislation.”

ROLL OF HONOR.
It is my practice to examine my pupils
once a week.
These examinations are held on iron-
day so that the pupils may have more
time for prep iration on the review. Those
pupils who show a high degree of profi¬
ciency in their studies will be placed on
the Roll of llouor.
S une pupils never look over the review
cour 11,1 ;il e ^ fail to S° make to , lhe a e good <*ool examination. «><*“; aud of
By giving a small amount of time and
attention, parents may encourage their
children to make a thorough prepaiation
for examination Some parents may not
be able to aid their children in prepar-
j n <r their lessons, but all can be of much
service by seeing that the lessons are
carefully studied. There are more fail-
ures of fi r want of appreciation do than leave for
want assistance. Pieasc not

h ive a work in common with the teacher.
A work the teacher cannot do. A part
of the parents work 19 to see that some
studying is done at home. If they would
all see to this, the children would not
have to rem tin at the school room until
night to prepare the lessons,
which they should have studied at home.
Without the co-operation of the parents,
the teacher will fail to advance the
children as rapidly as he would like, and
probably not accomplish as much as the
parents might expect. The honor following for the
names appear on the roll of

TRADE TOPICS.
•REVIEW OF BUSINESS BY DDK * CO. FOR
THE FAST WEEK.
IU G. Dun’s weekly review of trade
says: The past week has fully justified
those w ho gave w arning that the mone¬
tary case, caused by treasury disburse¬
ments, could be but temporary. The
market at New York has been tight,
with extreme rates paid in some cases.
The Boston and affects Philadelphia business. monetary The
pressure also re¬
p 0Vts from ot h er cities indicate uo sfack-
ing of activity on account of monetary
difficulty at any point west or south of
Philadelphia. Reports ns to collections
are almost uniformly satisfactory. Crops
are moving fast, the prices forward encouraging
farmers, but do not go to con-
Burners as rapidly. The distribution of
merchandise in nearly all lines continues
much in excess of last year’s industries at every
point reporting. The great
are doing well.
Activity in dry goods is every where m-
creased, importers being quick to dispose
G f mauv kinds, while the demand is large
and general. In short, there is every
reason to look for a large aud prosperous
business, if tbe pr.ssure in the money
market is met, and that pressure tends to
cure itself quickly by repressing specula- funds
tion. But the treasury has ample be-
available, and if coinmereiai needs
come such (hat bonds go forward or the
prepayment of interest is accepted, dis-
bursements should quickly be large
enough to meet all necessities.
Failures of the week are: For the
United States, 167; Canada, 26. Total,
193, against 208 last week.

author, of course we could not publish it.

“Troup,'’ entered school here this week,

with the assistant teacher; suppose he
entered the junior class.

last week on 3Irs. Hancock’s place, in
this county, that two feet from the
ground measured five feet and nine

and still heabhy, flourishing and bears
delicious fruit.
There was a colored couple married in
the cotton warehouse this week by Judge de¬
Dannielly. Thev said they were with so the

fair and honest dealings of our cotton
men, that they deemed it an honor to be
married in Matthews <k 3Ialpasse's ware¬ Dan-
house, The honest weigher, A. J.
nielly, officiated.
Jack 3Iartin aud Nath Holliman are
trying to build up the market, and they
believe the best way to do it is to pay
the top of the market and secure the con¬
fidence of their customers. During ad
last week cotton rolled in with a rush
aud brought 3Iacon prices. On last Sat-
urday 126 baits were soid here; 59 bales
brought 9Jaud the remainder biought market 94.
On the same day the top of tbe

biought here from Upson, Nlonroe
